Celine Dion is reportedly making strides towards a return to her iconic Las Vegas residency, marking a significant comeback following health challenges. The celebrated singer withdrew from the public eye after revealing her diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome in December 2022, which led to the cancellation of her planned activities.
Initially hindered by severe muscle spasms in 2021, Dion subsequently halted her Courage world tour in 2023 to prioritize her well-being. Now, at 56 years old, she is said to be in the final stages of arranging a comeback residency in Las Vegas, as per TMZ reports.
Sources close to the situation disclosed that negotiations with Resorts World have been ongoing for several months. The Grammy-winning artist is poised to stage a relatively brief residency, potentially commencing later this year or early 2025. “It’s basically a done deal. She’s doing it,” affirmed one insider, with another source emphasizing Dion’s determination to return to the stage.
Dion’s previous Las Vegas residency, A New Day, spanned from 2003 to 2007 and became the highest-grossing residency ever. Originally slated for three years, its unparalleled success extended the show for an additional two years, captivating audiences with 717 performances that drew over three million attendees.
As speculation about her return gains momentum, rumors abound that Dion may also grace the stage at the Olympic Opening Ceremony in Paris this Friday, marking a potential milestone in her comeback journey.
